Also dig the speedmaster 57.

This **** is like motorcycles. Just gotta do my obsessing without getting my wallet out and move on.

That tiffany dial nautilus is so expensive because it was basically only given to celebrities.

Can you imagine paying 2.7 million for a watch that "retails" at 50,000 and sells for 80,000 in another color, and probably costs 5000 to make. Its a big ol' goofy world.

Goofy marketing video but he goes through the whole range of Seamasters with some good close up shots.

So, it's pronounced "Oh-me-gah"?

Close ;)

This is the one for me... The Seamaster 300! :cool:

Damned pretty...

Is the crypto watch bubble still going strong?

Have no idea...haven't been shopping. My $200 quartz Hamilton field watch (Khaki King) bought back in 2001 is on (I think) it's 4th battery & still ticking along accurately.

Those "Oh-Mee-Gahs" are indeed beautiful...but not for me. I do have a dress watch I can wear...think it's 1950's...a gold Lord Elgin. Definitely NOT water resistant. ;)

"Made in Germany" :cool:

This is a fun watch but I think they want $4k.

Kermit shows up on the first of the month.

I might be done with mechanical watches. I work out doors and doing handyman jobs enough to not want to wear one of my nice watches so I'm going to pick up something digital and disposable.

Cool watch Otto but... "The complete set of "Omega Seamaster 75th Anniversary Collection".

- Note the blue face gets darker as their depth rating goes deeper. Rather cool!

There is only one Omega I like and thats this one

https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.PGAPYR...id=ImgDet&rs=1

I just don't get Omega that much. Their styling is all over the place. I haven't bought a watch in six years. I don't know when I'll buy another one unless its a G-Shock. Maybe if I want to splurge I'll go for a Suunto.

I still have my Suunto Favor for my diving computer. Its more then 20 years old and still working as far as I know. Its in my dive bag so I haven't look at it in a while.

This is a cool and fun watch. Swiss made for not a lot of money. :)

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1694076129.jpg

I think its a little ridiculous on the swatch groups part, but I guess the temptation was too great after the moonswatch success.

Can't wait for the plastic er bioceramic Breguet Tourbillion. All in good fun I suppose for an industry that has taken itself too seriously for a while.

Yes ridiculous but there are dedicated factories in China that only produce Swiss knock off watches & The CCP has done nothing to shut them down. I'm guessing but maybe the Swatch group decided to present an alternative?

BTW: A used Blancpain 50 Fathoms is worth around $20k!

This is the 70th anniversary version. Rather nice but you'd be walking around with the equivalent of a really good used car on your wrist.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1694117575.jpg

you can get a pretty nice preowned modern Fifty Fathoms for less than 8k, alot of monies but cheaper than that second place famous dive watch that is so common

I personally don't love the looks on most of them, but first rotating bezel dive watch is quite the accolade

You can also buy a used car that starts every morning for less than 8k... Just sayin ;)

An interesting review of the plastic watch.

Got my kid a Flik Flak Darth Vader watch a few years ago. The darn thing has doubled value. Odd for a kids watch.

All those brands under the same umbrella...sort of reminds me of the old GM.. Makes me wonder how many use the same movements..

This is cool and it's "reasonable money".

"Hamilton Khaki Expedition - affordable BlackBay?"

Hamilton Khaki face designs are classics...very easy to read at a glance. I prefer a watch that has a day and date complication...thus, my selection of a Hamilton "khaki king". Definitely not anything close to a status watch. Sort of like an old Craftsman USA made tool...it performs it's designed function well without drama.

Google ETA…

Saw a Patek in the flesh today. Aquanaut Travel in blue. Was talking with some other shooters at a tournament and my buddy noticed it and asked about it. Dude just popped it off his wrist and handed it to my bud.

The amount of $$ i'd need to own a 6 figure watch would be pretty astounding. it was very pretty though.

This is not a click bait video - Daniel Craig talks about his watches.
